Very true, normally some of my students have been forced by their parents to take up piano class that they have no interest at all.
It's not easy to teach these kids....

Cidao - I agree with you but not to the point of forcing them to do all kinds of things, rigth?

Nick, we're living in a globalized world and knowledge is very necessary. They're kids and they don't know what's important or not. That's parents role, to guide them to the world in the right way.

Diff.thinkr - Well said. I think you hit the nail on the coffin. I totally agree with you :D

I don't think tuition are at all necessary.Why would it be needed.Because they don't get what is taken at school?Then Why are they sent to a school?Just send them for tuition........
Well that s my stand :)

Kadusmama - Yup, sometimes the poor child has to live up to what the parents want them to be that it can be traumatizing. We should just guide them and not force them to do things ...

Your kids are smart little chaps lah. Don't worry....

2009-06-17T14:16:24.476+08:00

Your kids are smart little chaps lah. Don't worry. They are independent too. Oh, and they can go to 7-11 far away and buy their favourite things!

2009-06-17T11:19:24.940+08:00

I agree with you. I never go any tuition class last time and still i'm a Straight A's student what!! HAHHAHAAA Seriously!!!
So no..my son not going to tuition unless he can't even read ABC at the age of 12.
Parents who want to compete with each other are selfish! Why can't the parents let their kids have a normal life rather then pushing them so hard.
There was one case when i was in uni (senior tol me lah), one student suicides because he failed to get A for one of his subjects. Very Sad right!

AnnyBoo - 'dun know if i can make them on time before i tutup kedai ...' LOL! Don't worry la, I'm sure you'll have kids of your won one day :D

You said it exactly, they have too much things to do already as it that they sometimes don't have time to be children!

SweetGirlicious - Yes, I agree, don't stress them ...

2009-06-17T10:03:13.193+08:00

SweetGirlicious - Yes, I agree, don't stress them too much, just let them be children and they'll learn through experience. If at all you need tuition, just send them for the really weak ones ...

2009-06-17T10:00:53.911+08:00

Carol - Same here, I think we shouldn't force our kids to be something WE want them to be. Let them grow and experience things and decide for themselves.

2009-06-17T10:00:01.897+08:00

Mei Teng - LOL! Did you want to go or were you forced? I'm talking about these days when parents seem obsessed with wanting their kids to be good at everything ...

2009-06-16T22:57:30.346+08:00

I believe most parents want their kids to study in a fun and stress-free environment too. i agree with u, kids need fun and relaxation in between.

2009-06-16T20:49:32.615+08:00

hmm i guess it's depend on the child's cognitive level but for me..don't stress the child..they need to enjoy themselves.. if we need to send them for tuition at least 2 subjects only...ehheh

2009-06-16T19:23:43.643+08:00

My parents didnt send my and my siblings for tuition and i think we settled just fine. Well, of cos we are no geniuses lah. :)

I like how you think of your children upbringing. Just let them be themselves. No pressure.
